Our Summary
Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is set to miss the NFC Championship Game and potentially the Super Bowl due to a significant knee injury, as confirmed by head coach Mike Macdonald. Charbonnet's injury, reportedly an ACL tear, will require surgery and could extend his recovery into the 2026 season. In the regular season, Charbonnet recorded 184 carries for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns. With Charbonnet sidelined, Kenneth Walker will assume the role of lead back for Seattle, with Velus Jones available on the 53-man roster and Cam Akers on the practice squad.
